Course reviews
Rob Maitland — New ZealandGreat learning video
Chris Collins — AustraliaExcellent way to prepare, I had some of these but learnt more and he put it all together well. Problem solving and messaging very clear.
AlainTeixidor — FranceTrès bon intéressant
Lamataimi 'Alofi — New ZealandThank you for the video. it is of huge help for myself and the rest of the coaches of our school rugby teams. Am looking forward to put into practice this afternoon with our school 1st grade rugby team.
Christy Lyon — CanadaGreat video about scrum skill focused strengthening and warm up
AGUSTIN FERNANDEZ — ArgentinaExcelentes ejercicios para trabajar en diferentes niveles! definitivamente los voy a poner en practica! excelente trabajo Francisco, Ojalá suban mas videos con este tipo de progresiones
Tank Lanning — South AfricaVery cool. I love to test the shape under pressure like you are doing here, and you have certainly added a few drills to my repertoire
andy haines — USAGood video, very helpful. Would agree about the “riding” the backs on younger teams
Giuseppe Camillo — ItalySono d’accordo con Paul, bellissima miscela degli esercizi per la posizione costante del giocatore in spinta nelle fasi ordinate e, anche altre!
balauze patrice — NorwayA lot of good tips here, well explained, i would be cautious with the last one, i experienced it as a player and it is important to remind the player on the top to keep his balance, falling on the side is fine although i would add up more distance between the participants but sliding head up first could end up with head/neck injury.
Pietieboy — South AfricaVery good session especially how to keep your shape in the scrum under pressure
Paul Rochester — EnglandGreat mixture of technical drills moved into competitive games.
